Day 5 - Mike & Kristen's Advocare 24-Day Challenge

Halfway through the cleanse portion of the challenge and our results are mind-blowing! I started the challenge at 214 lbs and I weighed in this morning at 204 lbs! Kristen started at 132 lbs and she's down to 127 lbs!




The best part about this is that we're still eating up to 5 meals a day and I really haven't felt the "hunger urges" that I used to have (even when I wasn't dieting). The other factor is that I haven't secretly been going crazy exercising either. I've been running 15-20 minutes per day on the treadmill and I played in my weekly soccer game last night. Kristen hasn't exercised at all in the last 5 days!

I had a thought last night while driving to my soccer game. Weight loss really boils down to two things. First, you need to have the desire to shed the pounds. If you're not passionate about the effort, then you'll quickly slip back into old habits. Secondly, you need to have the discipline to stick to the plan. When I started this, I was heavier than I've ever been in my life. I'm following Advocare's plan and the results have been tremendous so far!

As with every post that I'll make, here's my disclaimer:

I am a physician and protecting my medical career is of paramount importance to me. I have researched the Advocare products thoroughly and my wife and I have chosen to use them for our own personal weight loss endeavor. However, I will not provide an official medical opinion with regards to the safety and efficacy of the products for others. I've put in too many years of hard work to put my medical license at risk. Basically, I've chosen to use Advocare products for myself and you'll have to decide for yourself or consult with your personal physician to figure out if these products are safe for you too.
